Noam Brusilovsky: Erich Mühsam at Sophiensæle – Sophiensæle | Independent Theater in Berlin
Noam Brusilovsky:
Erich Mühsam at Sophiensæle
In the 1920s, Jewish queer anarchist Erich Mühsam spoke at several events at Sophiensæle. In conversation with Erik Natter of the Gustav Landauer Initiative, artist Noam Brusilovsky reflects on those appearances and his significance for anarchist and socialist movements. Building on this, Brusilovsky devotes a second artistic part of the evening to the question of how we can revisit Mühsam’s visions and revolutionary ideas today and what role they can play in current social discourses.
